It begins!

Hello everyone! Sorry for not being active here until now but start-of-the-year work is always frantic for me, so probably not the best time to launch a Patreon. So of course it had to happen now, since I'm crap at timing projects.

First of all wanted to thank everyone for your support! The pledges were way more and way more generous than I could have predicted! I can't thank you enough for the support! 

Now, let's get down to business. I wanted to lay down a little bit the plans for this Patreon, and how it is going to work out, at least for this month. 

Before going on I need to warn you this is very long and rambly, so if you don't feel like reading it please don't. This is probably going to be one of the very few posts of this kind I'll do, but I needed at least one post to outline how all of this is going to work.

Since I have the terrible idea of making things overly complicated, here's a very professional table that shows how the content I'll produce this month will relate to Patreon Tiers:

Not much to say about the daily illustrations, if you've pledged you already know that I post daily on my pinup account. The addition this year is that I want to start producing one public NSFW illustration per week, so there's that. Content will be random, so be warned, as we can go from softcore yuri to tentacle porn to BDSM. I have demons to sate so bear with me.

Going into the meat of the discussion, I'm planning to make at least 4 exclusive illustrations this month, two pinup and two NSFW. While other artists do alts of exclusive pictures for promoting their Patreon, and while I may do alts of some pics is so inclined myself, I want each illustrations to be truly exclusive, and as such each one will be unique and each one won't be posted outside of Patreon in any form, alt or not.

I realize it is not the best choice for exposure by far, but I would rather give you actual exclusive content instead of using the material to push my patreon. And also I've never been a massive fan of "promotional alts" (not that there's anything wrong with it, it's just a personal taste thing). I also think it doesn't work well for my content, as I am not mainly a producer of popular characters' content, which is where that kind of alt content does best. 

Lots of words to say that Patreon-only art is actually Patreon only! Sorry about that.

As you can see from the table, two of these illustrations will feature characters from the monthly polls. We will do two polls at the start of this month (before the 8th), one for NSFW and one for Pinup, where you'll choose which characters to draw. You can propose different characters for the two polls, or one for both, as you prefer. I'll draw an illustration for each of the winners! Once the characters have been chosen, we can discuss a theme for the illustrations if you want, but it won't be poll based, just an agreeable discussion on how we want the illustrations to look. I reserve the right however to have the final decisive power on the actual content.

The other two exclusive illustrations, one Pinup and one NSFW, will be chosen by me, and will each have one of my OCs. These illustrations will be mostly planned by me, although I will listen to which OCs you guys would like to see, and may even hold informal polls to get a clearer decision. This however depends as I may have some planned ideas I wanna create, and for that reason I prefer to leave the last decision to me. In case you'd like to see more official polls for my OCs too, please let me know!

On top of this, there will also be random sketches, WIPs of past works, Patreon livestream suggestions, and similar stuff that will be accessible for Vampire+ Tiers. Not much to say here, it's mostly extra content but I hope you'll appreciate.

About the OC outfit request illustrations (for Robot Girl+ tiers), all you need to do if you qualify is send me a message with the OC and the outfit that you'd like to get. Just remember that NSFW or nudity of some of my OCs make me extremely uncomfortable, so in case you have fetish gear that involves penetration, exposed nipples or genitals, I may refuse it (although feel free to ask first anyways in case). 

The thing I would like to know is whether you'd like this kind of illustrations to remain exclusive to patreon or not. Personally I'm more inclined towards making them public and thus part of my daily pinup illustrations as it would make my life easier, but I don't mind it either way honestly.

Regarding the colored sketch tier, that's basically a commission, so not much to say there. You give a prompt/description and a character, I draw it in a sketchy style. Pretty straightforward. NSFW is allowed, it's one character only.

---

Jesus, what a mouthful! I don't even know if anyone is going to read this, but I still needed to put out there as, per usual, I overcomplicate things. In the end, you don't really need to care about this, you can just see the pics and enjoy them as they come up, but I still thought to put it out there in case you'd like to vote and want to understand better how things work.

That is all for now! You'll hear from me very soon, as I have already some NSFW WIPs I'm eager to share.

Ciao ciao!
